Shannon's Sentiment - I love you card

I created this very simple I Love You card using both Lily Flower and I Love You (which is a freebie :)).  You can't really see it in the photo but the flower is in layers.  I like creating simple cards once in awhile so I thought that this would be a perfect one to do that with :)

Right now, Shannon's Sentiments has a challenge going on and here are the details of what you can win if you participate:

One $10 gift certificate to the Sentiments store will be given to one random winner picked from all participants each month. There will also be one free image ($3 value) given to the one player that participates the most each month.

My Favorite Things/Pure Innocence -

I don't know about you but I really like these Pure Innocence stamps from My Favorite Things.  They are just too cute and best of all they come with their own sentiments!

This is my card I made last night using "Being Cute is what I do".  I paper pieced her clothes with dp and then made a gate fold card to place her on.

I just added some ribbon & rhinestones to the front of the card and then placed the sentiment on the inside.

You Wow, I have been wanting to participate in one of the Kenny K's challenges since they started but things just never worked out for me to do so.  If it wasn't for the fact that this image has been colored in since the store opened, I may not even had the chance this week :(

Victorine Originals - Baby Congratulations

I'm finally getting around to posting this card that I made Saturday.  I've been wanting to use this sweet little stamp called sleeping baby from Victorine Originals for a little while now so I decided to ink it up.

I embossed both the juniper and white cardstock before placing the ribbon.  Abby picked out the nestabilities to have around the image and did the turning of the handle of my cuttlebug :)  (We were having some stamping time together).   I stamped Congratulations on the inside cause I didn't want to clutter of the front of it.

Supplies:
Image/Sentiment-Victorine Origianls
Cardstock - Close to My Heart
Ribbon - Stash
Ribbon slide - stash
Nestabilities
Cuttlebug

Happy Monday everyone!  I hope you all had fun trick or treating last night.  We had a blast.  Abby was so into it this year and after the first couple of houses, she was going at it like a pro :)

Anyway, for this week's challenge we are to create a card with any form of embossing on it.  This challenge is also sponsored by Meljen Design's, so I pulled out one of my stamps that I had from them and created this card:

For today's project I used Holiday labels to create gift tags and a couple of 3x3 cards that could either be used with the gift or if the gift is in a box, they are perfect little note cards for that :)

Now make sure you go through the hop and comment on everyone's post cause one lucky winner will receive a $10 gift certificate to the store!  Also now through the 7th of November everyone can receive 10% off their order if you use NOVSSREL2010.
